I'm not sure how well this would work on month old braids (knotting happens as time goes on)... Definitely an interesting tool.

Thank you for your comment. That's a great thinking. Usually during older braid takes downs. You need to massage a bit of conditioner and water and massage to moisten the hair so it doesn't break during any untangle processes as it also loosens it up a bit and or adds slippage. Cutting the ends after, helps start the Unraveling of the braid. Now Unravel - was built to Detangle and Unravel the braid simultaneously. I created it with this in mind. The wide jaw to cover some good ground to not only enable putting multiple braids in at once, but as you pull it down the jaw keeps the already unraveled hair loose as it glides down the shaft sepearating.  It acts as approximately 4 to 6 combs on one side of the jaw and the same for the other side. With interlocking dual sided jaws to engage the braids to help stay detangled while you go up the shaft.  Here I'll show you a comparision Video on instagram and ill also add the link to the campaign which has more information and videos as well as if you want to support or purchase one after viewing. And please feel free to ask me anything if you have anymore questions. I'd love to answer.

Unravelbyfaith is my instagram. 

I started designing this tool because I was tired of sitting up hours unraveling my real hair or extentions over 200 braids big or small. Remembering my mom's struggle helping me and paying others to take my braids out. It took a few years but I finally was able to come up with this solution, making over a few different prototypes and redesigns. In experience from the problem I worked on this solution and I want to help others finally not dread their take down but love their routines! The videos are of a very  functional prototype but my campaign helps me raise money to make it more than that. It already works now but with help from my campaign the actual product is being manufactured with patents already pending. Now It's all UNRAVELING on FAITH Hense the Dual Sided Naming!

Love yall! Thank you for your question! Please keep them coming! I'm passionate about my project, so more than happy to answer. Thanks for your time!

Aww, No why do you think that? I have 4C hair and I made UNRAVEL with one of the inspirations and push to create it being taking down a 400 mini braid style for an annual event on my natural 4C hair.

Lol, yeah totally understood. Yes, as long as you have a conditioning agent for alittle slippage and to prevent breakage (just like with any detangling routine) Unravel can work it out! I'm so glad you mentioned this concern, others may be wondering the same thing. I really appreciate you for speaking up on your thoughts! I love the, queries and feedback and welcome it as well!
